Lincoln Center’s approach to accessibility mirrors our commitment to transform performing arts spaces to be more inclusive of our audiences’ identities and access needs by design, not as an afterthought or add-on. As part of our wider commitment to accessibility and inclusion, we recognize that access needs must be integrated in the creative process, that the work on our stages reflects our differences and interconnectedness, and that we are creating a space where everyone feels welcome.

We welcome guests to come as they are and be their full selves at Lincoln Center. Open to all, but designed for people with autism, sensory and communication disorders or learning disabilities, relaxed performances offer modifications to social and sensory environments.
